“I don’t really want to,” Heidi replied casually. “With our status as one of the four great families, we could go to Medicine God Island without any assessment. All it would take is a word from my dad, and we’d be guaranteed a spot. They always have internal quotas. This type of assessment is clearly meant for those alchemists at the bottom.”
“There’s an internal quota available? How come I’ve never heard of it?” Forden was taken aback.
“You’re really naive. It’s not just the four great families, I’m guessing even those alchemist guilds would have some slots. But there wouldn’t be many, probably a single guild could only have four or five slots at best,” said Heidi.
No sooner had Heidi finished speaking, than Wyatt sidled up to Jared, asking, “What do you think of this assessment, Mr. Chance?”
“I haven’t looked yet, but I don’t think many will make it through,”
“Mr. Chance, my friend, there’s no need to worry. I have five spots available. Even if you don’t pass the assessment, you can still go to Medicine God Island. Even if it means pulling some strings as the president of the Alchemist Guild, I will ensure a spot for you,” said Wyatt.
He had come solely to reserve a spot for Jared, ensuring that Jared would have no choice but to join the Central Alchemist Guild, whether he wanted to or not. Membership was mandatory to secure a spot.
Upon hearing words like “internal quota”, and “easy way out”, Jared couldn’t help but laugh.
It seemed that even the cultivators of the ethereal realm couldn’t escape the ways of the mundane world.
No matter the realm, power was often the most crucial thing.
The positions that others struggled tirelessly to attain were easily obtained by these prestigious families and alchemist guilds through backdoor connections.
They were even willing to give up spots. That was the disparity.
Some people were always striving to be rich and successful, while others were born rich.
“President Chance, I don’t need this spot. Is it possible to secure places for my two friends instead? They were considering joining the Central Alchemist Guild. What do you think?” Jared pointed at Viola and Sigurd.
“Of course. I’ll just need to say the word!”
“Thank you so much, President Chance. If you ever need anything, just let me know. If it’s within my power, I’ll do it, no questions asked,” Jared said gratefully.
